Senior Analytics Engineer

Who We Are 

Arcadia is the technology company empowering energy innovators and consumers to fight the climate crisis. Our software and APIs are revolutionizing an industry held back by outdated systems and institutions by creating unprecedented access to the data and clean energy needed to make a decarbonized energy grid possible.

In 2014, Arcadia set out on its mission to break the fossil fuel monopoly and since then we have been knocking down the institutional barriers to unlock decarbonization.  To date, we have connected hundreds of thousands of consumers and small businesses with high-quality clean energy options. Fast forward to today, and now, we’re thinking even bigger.  We have launched Arc, an industry-defining SaaS platform that empowers developers and energy innovators to deliver their own custom, personalized energy experiences, accelerating the transformation of the industry from an analog energy system into a digitized information network.

Tackling one of the world’s biggest challenges requires out-of-the-box thinking & diverse perspectives. We’re building a team of individuals from different backgrounds, industries, & educational experiences. If you share our passion for ushering in the era of the clean electron, we look forward to learning what you would uniquely bring to Arcadia!

What we’re looking for:

We are seeking a Senior Analytics Engineer to create clean, curated, and organized data sets used across Arcadia. The role will be hands-on and collaborative, building data assets that enable analysis and drive daily business decisions. You’ll bring an engineer’s rigor and a seasoned data modeler’s expertise to our thorniest data modeling problems, helping to lead our efforts to organize, rationalize, and produce enriched data products on our data.  

Our data lake is hosted on Snowflake and that’s also where we are building our curated data layer–we call it the Unified Data Model–and produce analytics pipelines for our derived data products–our Solutions business. You’ll work primarily with SQL in dbt; we use dbt Core, orchestrated in Argo and, in some instances, Prefect.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who relishes the chance to engage with cutting-edge technology, influence the development of a world-class data ecosystem, and work in a fast-paced environment on a high-performing team. As the senior-most individual contributor on our Data and Analytics Engineering team, you’ll work with our Director of Data and Analytics Engineering to define and drive our data strategy and best practices.

Arcadia is open to fully remote candidates who are based in the US and employees have access to co-working spaces. Strong preference for candidates who reside in Washington DC, New York, Boston, Atlanta, or Denver.
